We had planned for many months to reach four remote tundra wildfires in mid West Greenland to study their impacts on soils, vegetation, carbon and micro-climate. Getting to them was the first challenge. It took us several very bumpy boat rides and some days of hiking with heavy packs. We camped at our research sites in tents, with lots of equipment, freeze-dried food and an inreach. When the boat threatened to get stuck in the river, we carried it across the rapids. Luckily, but coincidentally, most of the fires had started along the popular and epic Arctic Circle Trail, so we could follow a well established path and sometimes sleep in one of the huts. This was for sure my most adventurous campaign ever!
